Dex on Debian 13

Dex is an open-source OpenID Connect (OIDC) identity provider that provides centralized authentication and single sign-on (SSO) services for applications and services. Dex enables teams to securely manage user authentication by connecting to identity providers such as LDAP, Google, GitHub, or static passwords. It issues tokens that applications can use to verify user identity, making authentication workflows more reliable and collaborative for modern cloud-native environments.

Features of Dex:

• Centralized authentication and single sign-on (SSO) for applications.
• Integration with identity providers like LDAP, Google, and GitHub.
• Token-based authentication using OpenID Connect (OIDC).
• Minimal CLI to start/manage the service and REST endpoints for programmatic access.
• Supports secure, scalable, and reproducible authentication workflows for cloud-native environments.

To check the version of Dex, run the following command:

$ /opt/dex/bin/dex version

Disclaimer: Dex is an open-source identity provider. Users are responsible for deploying and configuring the Dex server, integrating it with applications or services, and securing access appropriately.
